i deleted my account, logged out of my devices, and logged back in, deleted website data, history--but not sure what you mean by "disconnecting" my google account--if you mean signing out, i did that too. i RARELY ever bother reading what reddit has to say about anything--i might have posted something years ago, so i cant make sense of why--out of nowhere it is always first in internet searches on both my iphone and my macbook air--after doing all i listed above and still having the same issue really bugs me--because i don't like deleting my history when recently i have been relying on it for things ive been researching and wanted to keep it for a while until i was finished. i cant think of any logical reason that this just came out of nowhere, but now im really angry about not being able to fix it....surely there has to be a way to stop it--it now feels like im being harassed. i went onto google and looked for answers, and have dumped google many times before for a variety of reasons, but i keep caving because i didnt like any of its competitors.
surely there has to be a way to stop this--now it makes me cringe to see my search results--or go online at all because it definitely is getting to me....what really got me was the fact that when i specifically named them in my many searches of how to have them cease and desist, reddit was offering suggestions from others on the very same topic.
HELP!!
i welcome any and all suggestions--thanks in advance
